Deuteronomy 16
New King James Version
The Passover Reviewed(A)
16 “Observe the (B)month of Abib, and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for (C)in the month of Abib the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night. 2 Therefore you shall sacrifice the Passover to the Lord your God, from the flock and (D)the herd, in the (E)place where the Lord chooses to put His name. 3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it; (F)seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, that is, the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste), that you may (G)remember the day in which you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life. 4 (H)And no leaven shall be seen among you in all your territory for seven days, nor shall any of the meat which you sacrifice the first day at twilight remain overnight until (I)morning.
5 “You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which the Lord your God gives you; 6 but at the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide, there you shall sacrifice the Passover (J)at twilight, at the going down of the sun, at the time you came out of Egypt. 7 And you shall roast and eat it (K)in the place which the Lord your God chooses, and in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents. 8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and (L)on the seventh day there shall be a [a]sacred assembly to the Lord your God. You shall do no work on it.
The Feast of Weeks Reviewed(M)
9 “You shall count seven weeks for yourself; begin to count the seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the grain. 10 Then you shall keep the (N)Feast of Weeks to the Lord your God with the tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you shall give (O)as the Lord your God blesses you. 11 (P)You shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are among you, at the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide. 12 (Q)And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you shall be careful to observe these statutes.
The Feast of Tabernacles Reviewed(R)
13 (S)“You shall observe the Feast of Tabernacles seven days, when you have gathered from your threshing floor and from your winepress. 14 And (T)you shall rejoice in your feast, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant and the Levite, the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, who are within your [b]gates. 15 (U)Seven days you shall keep a sacred feast to the Lord your God in the place which the Lord chooses, because the Lord your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you surely rejoice.
16 (V)“Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles; and (W)they shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed. 17 Every man shall give as he is able, (X)according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you.
Justice Must Be Administered
18 “You shall appoint (Y)judges and officers in all your [c]gates, which the Lord your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment. 19 (Z)You shall not pervert justice; (AA)you shall not [d]show partiality, (AB)nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and [e]twists the words of the righteous. 20 You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may (AC)live and inherit the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
21 (AD)“You shall not plant for yourself any tree, as a [f]wooden image, near the altar which you build for yourself to the Lord your God. 22 (AE)You shall not set up a sacred pillar, which the Lord your God hates.

New Russian Translation
Пасха и праздник Пресных хлебов(A)
16 Помни месяц авив и празднуй Пасху Господа, твоего Бога, потому что в месяце авиве Он вывел тебя ночью из Египта. 2 Приноси в пасхальную жертву Господу, твоему Богу, животное из мелкого или крупного рогатого скота на месте, которое Господь выберет для Своего имени. 3 Не ешь это мясо с дрожжевым хлебом, но семь дней ешь пресный хлеб, хлеб горя, потому что ты покинул Египет в спешке, – чтобы ты всю жизнь вспоминал время исхода из Египта. 4 Пусть в твоем владении по всей земле семь дней не будет никакой закваски. Не оставляй до утра мясо, которое ты приносишь в жертву вечером первого дня.
5 Ты не должен приносить пасхальную жертву в каком-либо из городов, которые Господь, твой Бог, дает тебе, 6 кроме того места, которое Он выберет для Своего имени. Там ты должен принести пасхальную жертву вечером, на заходе солнца, в годовщину твоего ухода из Египта[a]. 7 Приготовь и съешь ее на месте, которое выберет Господь, твой Бог. Утром вернись в свои шатры. 8 Шесть дней ешь пресный хлеб, а на седьмой день проведи собрание Господу, твоему Богу, и не делай никакой работы.
Праздник Недель(B)
9 Отсчитай семь недель со времени, когда ты начинаешь жать серпом в поле, 10 и отмечай праздник Недель Господу, твоему Богу, отдавая добровольное приношение в соответствии с благословениями, которые дал тебе Господь, твой Бог. 11 И веселись перед Господом, твоим Богом, на месте, которое Он выберет для Своего имени, – ты, твои сыновья и дочери, слуги и служанки, левиты в твоих городах и чужеземцы, сироты и вдовы, живущие среди вас. 12 Помни, что ты был рабом в Египте, и тщательно следуй этим установлениям.
Праздник Шалашей(C)
13 Отмечай праздник Шалашей семь дней после того, как закончишь работы на своем гумне и в давильне. 14 Веселись на празднике – ты, твои сыновья и дочери, слуги и служанки, левиты, чужеземцы, сироты и вдовы, которые живут в твоих городах. 15 Семь дней отмечай праздник Господу, твоему Богу, на месте, которое выберет Господь. Ведь Господь, твой Бог, благословит тебя урожаем, а также во всех делах твоих рук, и ты будешь только радоваться.
16 Пусть три раза в год все мужчины предстают пред лицо Господа, твоего Бога, на место, которое Он выберет: на праздник Пресных хлебов, на праздник Недель и на праздник Шалашей. Никто не должен являться пред лицо Господа с пустыми руками: 17 пусть каждый принесет дар в соответствии с тем, насколько благословил его Господь, твой Бог.
Судьи
18 Назначь судей и начальников для каждого рода в каждом из городов, которые дает тебе Господь, твой Бог. Пусть они судят народ по справедливости. 19 Не извращай правосудие и будь беспристрастным. Не бери взятки, потому что взятка ослепляет глаза мудрецов и искажает слова праведников. 20 Следуй правосудию и только правосудию, чтобы жить и владеть землей, которую дает тебе Господь, твой Бог.
Служение другим богам
21 Не ставь деревянный столб Ашеры[b] у жертвенника, который ты построил Господу, твоему Богу, 22 и не воздвигай священного камня, потому что Господь, твой Бог, ненавидит все это.

The Feasts of Passover, of Weeks, and of Booths
16 “Observe (A)the month of Abib and [a](B)celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God, for in the month of Abib the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night. 2 You shall sacrifice the Passover to the Lord your God from the flock and the herd, in the place where the Lord chooses to establish His name. 3 (C)You shall not eat leavened bread with it; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in a hurry), so that you will remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt (D)all the days of your life. 4 For seven days no leaven shall be seen with you in your entire territory, and (E)none of the meat which you sacrifice on the evening of the first day shall be left overnight until the morning. 5 You are not allowed to sacrifice the Passover in any of your [b]towns which the Lord your God is giving you; 6 but only (F)at the place where the Lord your God chooses to establish His name, you shall sacrifice the Passover in the evening at sunset, at the time that you came out of Egypt. 7 You shall (G)cook and eat it in the place which the Lord your God chooses. In the morning you are to return to your tents. 8 For six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and (H)on the seventh day there shall be (I)a festive assembly to the Lord your God; you shall do no work on it.
9 “(J)You shall count seven weeks for yourself; you shall begin to count seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain. 10 Then you shall [c]celebrate the Feast of Weeks to the Lord your God with a [d]voluntary offering of your hand in a proportional amount, which you shall give just as the Lord your God blesses you; 11 and you shall (K)rejoice before the Lord your God, you, your son and your daughter, and your male and female slaves, and (L)the Levite who is in your [e]town, and (M)the stranger, the [f]orphan, and the widow who are in your midst, at the place where the Lord your God chooses to establish His name. 12 (N)You shall also remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you shall be careful and [g]comply with these statutes.
13 “(O)You shall [h]celebrate the Feast of [i]Booths for seven days when you have gathered in from your threshing floor and your wine vat; 14 and you shall (P)rejoice in your feast, you, your son and your daughter, and your male and female slaves, and the Levite, the stranger, the [j]orphan, and the widow who are in your [k]towns. 15 For seven days you shall celebrate a feast to the Lord your God in the place which the Lord chooses, because the Lord your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you will be altogether joyful.
16 “(Q)Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God at the place which He chooses: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Booths; and (R)they are not to appear before the Lord empty-handed. 17 Everyone [l]shall give as he is able, in accordance with the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you.
18 “You shall appoint for yourself judges and officers in all your [m]towns which the Lord your God is giving you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. 19 (S)You shall not distort justice, (T)you shall not [n]show partiality; and (U)you shall not accept a bribe, because a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and distorts the words of the righteous. 20 Justice, and only justice, you shall pursue, so that (V)you may live and possess the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
21 “(W)You shall not plant for yourself an [o]Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of the Lord your God, which you shall make for yourself. 22 And (X)you shall not set up for yourself a memorial stone, which the Lord your God hates.
